Chapter 339: 325 ready to return to the country

The raw stone purchased for ninety million was about to be cut to secure a lucky start, and Gu Xing deliberately arranged for the cutter to slice close to the mossy side.

The first cut revealed nothing, and the second was made at the location deemed most likely to produce results.

After the third and fourth cuts, it wasn’t just the stone that was being fragmented but also Gu Xing’s hope for a stroke of luck.

Chen Luo couldn’t contain his excitement, "Miss Yan, to tell you the truth, I estimated that this behemoth of a stone could be bought for no more than fifty-six million at most. Gu Xing is one to haggle; he’s all for earning more but hates losing extra cash, so his estimation couldn’t have been much different from mine."

"As it turns out, he probably wanted to compete with you, inflate the price so he could make a profit in between! He thought he had you cornered, but in reality, he ended up outmaneuvered! Now, with several slices off the stone, it’s no longer a matter of losing several million..."

Yan Yueqing nodded, "Hmm, at least eighty million in loss."

Eighty million!

Even for the well-established Chen Luo and Du Manchang, hearing this figure couldn’t help but astonish them!

It’s one thing to watch a debacle unfold, but an eighty-million loss is serious trouble.

Something occurred to Chen Luo, and the big man’s expression suddenly turned grave, "Miss Yan, Gu Xing is a vindictive person and has considerable power in T country. Now that he’s fallen into your hands, I’m afraid he might seek revenge."

Yan Yueqing hummed in acknowledgment, "I figured as much."

Chen Luo glanced at Jun Lii and then at the two children beside her, "Of course, this gentleman by your side must be extraordinary, capable of ensuring your safety! But as the saying goes, you can’t be too careful every day... If he decides to play dirty, dark and underhanded tactics can be quite hard to dodge."

After a pause, he added, "Moreover... Gu Xing started out with K powder, and the raw stones business is just something he invested in more recently. His Light Dark Club consists of mercenaries and violent thugs... armed to the teeth, all of them. With two children in tow..."

He spoke with measured words, affirming Jun Lii’s strength while tactfully highlighting the hidden danger lurking with Gu Xing.

After all, two fists are no match for four.

And with the fact that they were always armed, if they really decided to harm Yan Yueqing, who could guarantee absolute safety?

Jun Lii accepted his concern, "Yueqing, if everything is almost ready, let’s head back to our country first."

Du Manchang agreed, "Indeed, Miss Yan, it’s better to return sooner rather than later."

Yan Yueqing wasn’t trying to be a hero; her reason for coming here was solely to arrange for a few undercover lines to respond to Song Xiaoxiao’s situation.

Now that the preparations were nearly complete, she naturally wouldn’t linger, putting her sons in danger.

She nodded, "Once these stones are cut, we’ll take them with us."

As they were speaking, Old Master Chen had already cut open the heart-shaped stone that Jun Lii picked out for Yan Yueqing.

He exclaimed, "Ink Jade?!"

At his words, everyone’s gaze converged on the stone.

Old Master Chen was thrilled!

He knew today was the right day to come—Ink Jade, which hadn’t been seen in a long time, had actually emerged!

Yan Yueqing had wanted to take all the stones back to her country to be cut, but since she had promised Old Master Chen, it wouldn’t be right to break her word at the last minute.

She picked up the piece that Yan Wang had chosen, "Old Chen, we are leaving soon. Take your time with the other stones, but open this one first."

His hands trembled as he accepted the stone, his demeanor solemn.

She had been so nonchalant about the other stones, so why did she specifically select this one?!

Could it be...

Yan Yueqing said, "This stone, don’t cut it, just start with rubbing a window here."

Old Chen became excited!

He had been cutting stones all day, and it was the first time he heard her say not to cut, just to start with a window instead.

He then placed it on the machine.
